What is done when Spinal Bone Spurs start causing Pain and Numbness?

I went to my doctor last week and told him my Chiropractor had done an Xray and found 13 bone spurs in my neck and a twist and 21 down the rest of my spine and 2 more twists. He Referred me to a Spine Specialist. Now what can I expect? My arms and hands are swollen most the time these days and Numb and tingly. My feet and legs stay swollen. I have had a Dull nagging headache for 2 months. Since my sister talked me into going to the Chiropractor and she done 3 treatments on me. She used a tool she called a Small Jack Hammer used to realign the spine. I do not sleep well the past year I am lucky to sleep 4 or 5 hours a night. I Can not stand over 20 minutes at a time with out my legs getting so Shakey I feel like they will collapse. And Am having Bladder leakage problems. I go from Constipation to Diahrea without any notice. It is a choir just to brush my hair. Cooking meals and taking care of the house is gotten impossiable. I have to use a stool to sit on just to cook a meal. Doing the dishes or running the Vacuum is something I have so much pain doing I want to Cry from the Pain. I am just hoping with what they Call Degenerative Spinal Disc Disease and Degenerative Bone Disease there is something that can be done. I can not take Pain Medication Orally It causes Bleeding from my Ulcer. So even if they could or would Put in a Pain Medication Pump At least I could get pain medication with out causing stomach complaint. I can Not Even take Ibprufen with out pain Or blood in my Stool.
